Frantz is always a good choice!
I've said it before and it's worth saying again....Laura Frantz books have become my choice when I'm looking for a good clean romance story that's loaded with history. This series is a wonderful example of great writing and narration. There are so many poignant moments and memorable characters that I am looking forward to listening to the next book. 😉

Even Better Than the First in the Series
Ellie Ballantyne can’t wait to leave finishing school in Philadelphia and return to her home in Pittsburg. On the way, she encounters a fierce storm and Jack Turlock from the enemy family comes to her rescue. Despite his hard edges and terrible reputation, she senses he’s different from the rest of his family. When she arrives home, her parents are traveling and trouble finds New Hope. Between old expectations, fugitive slaves, and a forbidden love, things are more difficult than Ellie expected.
I loved this book. The narrator often enunciated too precisely, emphasizing each syllable, but she did a good job of handling the Scottish accents when needed. I liked both Jack and Ellie very much, and Eden and Silas were even better than in the first book. I’m looking forward to the third and last book of the series. #Nostalgic #FamilyFeud #PreCivilWar #Heartfelt #HappyEnding

Great Story - Superb narration
Angela Brazil has to be one of the best narrators ever. She has so many voices. The men sound like men. The Scottish Brogue is exquisite. I've already started the next book in the Series and she can even do a Kentucky drawl. The only thing she is missing is the Pittsburghers y'uns (yunz) but maybe that came later. I am from Pittsburgh and I find the historical references fascinating. I wish I could see a map of where New Hope is and Broad Oaks and River ?

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio version of Love’s Awakening by Laura Frantz! I loved Jack, Ellie, and Chloe (and, of course, Silas and Eden) and the way their characters grew in the story!

I love this series, with this story being my favorite. I adore Jack and Ellie, and Chloe with her lovable and spunky personality. Laura Frantz always writes with such beauty and depth.
